Palpatine's son

hmmm..because the false Kadann said that Triclops was Palpatine's son, can he be trusted. could this not be Palpatine's sibling? Unsigned comment by DarthMalus (talk • contribs)

  • yea not for anything but which chick in her right mind would do palpatine??? Unsigned comment by 71.248.234.94 (talk • contribs)
    • THAT is the million-dollar question... DAWUSS 01:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, the dark side is supposed to be more seductive. ;) Zakor1138 16:26, 28 Sep 2006 (UTC)

It's also a possibility that something like artificial insemination was used- like, if they couldn't properly recreate spontaneous fertilization the way *supposedly* Anakin Skywalker's birth went, Palpatine might have donated a few cells and they tried to replicate the cloning experiment. That would account for why the mutation occurred.

  • Either this page or Rey's father's page need to be put together, they are the counterparts to each other. ThePigMaster117

Contradiction

The Kadann (impostor)article includes information about Triclops' escape from Yavin (and apparently, his death). This article claims he disappeared into the jungles forever. I'm not sure which is correct, but this should be cleared up.125.243.148.130 07:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Barely Tolerable retcon

In the blog Barely Tolerable: Alien Henchmen of the Empire, the "son" of Niobi is Trioculus, not Triclops. Zakor1138 (talk) 02:00, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

  • Yes, this was already fixed in Niobi's and Trioculus' articles, but not yet on this one. It's quite tricky, actually, since "Alien Henchmen" hints at Triclops being the son of Sly Moore. But it's only presented as rumors, and the timeline seems a bit off. --LelalMekha (talk) 02:07, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Birth Year

The article gives Triclops' birth year as "After 18 BBY", but his biological son, Ken, is listed as having been born in 7 BBY. Ken's age is twelve and the series takes place in 5 ABY, so all of that lines up....until you realize that Triclops would have fallen in love with Kendalina and fathered a son at age 11. Is there anything that could give us a more specific (and reasonable) year of birth, or is this another unfortunate continuity problem caused by this book series? Rin Eldrin (talk) 16:36, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

  • The 18 BBY date is obtained by the fact that Triclops' mother was still alive by that year, and she was said to have died shortly after giving birth. So yes, Triclops mustn't have been older than 11 years when he impregnated Kendalina, but we must remember that he was the result of a bizarre alchemy-cloning experiment. For what it's worth, he could have matured much more quickly than a Human normally would. He certainly did look older than his biological age in the Jedi Prince series. --Lelal Mekha Old Republic military symbol (Audience Room) 17:12, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
    • Okay - that does make more sense now. I hadn't stopped to consider growth acceleration or anything like that. 75.109.34.241 21:19, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
      • This is wrong. His mother wasn't Sly Moore, it was Niobi. Therefore, Sly's death means absolutely nothing to his birth date and therefore his birth date is unknown. - Blaid 16:54, March 13, 2016 (UTC)
        • Have you read Parts One and Three of "Barely Tolerable: Alien Henchmen of the Empire?" You don't seem to have done that. --LelalMekha (talk) 22:34, March 13, 2016 (UTC)
          • Wow, been awhile since I messaged on this. All those years ago, I actually complained to the author of the series, regarding Triclops' age among other things and the imagery of someone eleven years of age having children. In turn, while he chose not to accept my generalization, he said I have the right to interpret his work as I saw fit. On a personal level, that is satisfying enough without forcing any change. -- Blaid 19:41, January 11, 2019 (UTC)
